Yeap why not? Who cares about times, they have like the whole week + next week as well before season 2 starts. BO1 is a lottery so much cheese involved (normally) its completely unfair and doesn't find the best player deserving of the Code S spot. Might be fun to watch but to play in must be hell.
I much rather the old way of 1 bo3 vs someone else winner code S loser code A much fairer. Oh well...

Wow YuGiOh almost won that. Dodging the first vortex and then sending banes. Too bad he wasn't injecting. That's not what lost him the game... When you're floating 2000/1000 + after the end of a big battle vs a Protoss with almost no income. Missing those injects and not having the larvae to reproduce is what lost him the game. When you have a collosi+zealots in your main, stalker+archon in your 3rd and your 4th is dead, it doesn't matter what you reproduce at that point. So you're telling me if he was reproducing mid-battle, with stock piled larvae and was reinforcing during the fight he wouldn't have won? I guess you could argue nothings guaranteed, but it would've put him in a much better position.
Yes. He would reproduce 2k/1k worth of units, but Squirtle had his 4th base up and Collosi/stalker/archon. He would just have to turtle up as YuGiOh wouldn't be able to afford high-tech units if he spent it all on reproducing, and that game is easily won for Squirtle.

Seeing that Code A qualifiers are Bo3, it would make sense that up/down matches (which are more important!) are Bo3 as well!
Just have the third caster (which would be Moletrap today) cast half of the games out of studio, as in Code A matches.
*EDIT* Didn't realize it was round robin. That is actually kind of ok, even though I'd prefer Bo3 matches. So somewhat disregard that =)

KeeN adds a tech lab on his factory and starts building a Starport. Reactor added on the barracks.
Two more barracks added on by Heart as he goes for a second CC. Stim is being researched.
KeeN throws up his second CC as his first Banshee is being produced.
Heart adds on two reactors to his barracks, while getting his first Engineering bay.
KeeN not getting a second banshee, starts production on a Raven. First siege tank about to come out.
+1 attack on the way for Heart as the banshee from KeeN starts doing damage to the natural of Heart. 5 kills before pulling out.

The players, casters, production crew? You really expect players to play 4-5 (5-6 players per group) bo3 in one night and have casters cast that many games? Also, the week off might mean no GSL broadcasts, but that doesn't mean there isn't work being done to prepare for the next season.

God, those games were some of the worst shit played in the Mok-Dong studious since the Open seasons. Bar Genius, pretty much everyone played terrible.

They all had their shot at winning Bo3's in the normal matches to make it to Code S and they all failed. I actually like the Bo1 format for the Up and Downs because it has more of a do or die type feel to it. What do players feel like they have to do when they have to win ONE map against a specific player? I'm a fan of Bo3's/Bo5's/Bo7's but, I do enjoy GSL mixing it up like this.
If you don't want to play Bo1's win your matches during the regular season and you won't have to.

Really. I think it is more fair to get to play a variety of opponents of Code A/S caliber. What if someone decent had to play a Bo3 (or even Bo5) vs STBomber just to get into Code S. That wouldn't be very fair.

KeeN is moving out with two siege tanks, marines, a banshee and a raven. Setting up a contain outside of Heart's base. Sloppy control loses him the Banshee.
Heart stims up and pushes into the tank line of KeeN! It looks like he'll break it, b ut a rallying tank from KeeN gets there in time, and manages to hold back the marines along with the auto-turrets from the Raven.
KeeN finally getting stim for his own infantry, while Heart gets +1 armor.
KeeN gets another banshee to do some harass, luring the marines into siege tank fire.
